Be used to implement most preferred embodiment of the present invention
[first embodiment]
In multiband receiver, after input signal is transformed to baseband signal, the cut-off frequency of high pass filter (HPF) is controlled, thereby improved signal receiving performance according to the first embodiment of the present invention.Not only can be applied to the multiband receiver of 2 frequency bands according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and can be applied to 3 or the multiband receiver of multiband more.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram according to the multiband receiver of first embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1, the multiband receiver according to first embodiment comprises frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5, frequency band 1 local signal oscillator 3, frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6, frequency band 2 local signal oscillators 4, switch 7, first high pass filter (HPF) 8, an AGC amplifier 9, second high pass filter 10, the 2nd AGC amplifier 11 and the 3rd high pass filter 12.
Switch 7 frequency acceptance band switch-over control signals 15.First high pass filter 8 receives HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17.In second high pass filter 10 and the 3rd high pass filter 12 each receives HPF cut-off frequency control signal A16.The example of the signal transmitter that is used to send frequency band switch-over control signal 15, HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17 and HPF cut-off frequency control signal A16 is described with reference to Fig. 8 after a while.
In Fig. 1, just illustrate double-frequency-band receiver in order to simplify description.Yet, should be noted in the discussion above that first embodiment not only can be applied to 2 frequency bands (double frequency-band) receiver, and can be applied to N frequency band receiver that wherein the N indication is equal to, or greater than three integer.
In addition, in order to simplify, I (homophase) signal and Q (quadrature) signal that send from quadrature demodulator illustrate with the individual signals line.
In the multiband receiver according to first embodiment shown in Figure 1, shorten the convergence time of DC offset drifts by the cut-off frequency that improves first high pass filter 8 according to HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17, thereby guarantee to reduce the adverse effect to the signal receiving performance of multiband receiver, described DC offset drifts does not match and causes by be switched to DC level between another frequency band time-frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 and frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6 at frequency band.
Frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 carries out quadrature demodulation according to the local signal that receives from frequency band 1 local signal oscillator 3 to the signal that receives by frequency band 1 input, thus with this signal transformation be baseband signal (I, Q).
Frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6 carry out quadrature demodulation according to the local signal that receives from frequency band 2 local signal oscillators 4 to the signal that receives by frequency band 2 inputs, thus with this signal transformation be baseband signal (I, Q).
When the frequency band that will use in multiband receiver is determined, indicate the signal of determined frequency band to be sent to the control signal generation circuit (not shown among Fig. 1) that is equipped with the multiband receiver by outside from multiband receiver.When receiving this signal, control signal generation circuit produces frequency band switch-over control signal 15 according to frequency band indicated in the signal.Frequency band switch-over control signal 15 is sent to switch 7.
According to the frequency band switch-over control signal 15 that receives, switch 7 is selected the output of sending from frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 and one of the output of sending from frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6, and allow selected output by switch 7, described selected output indication is with the frequency band that is used.
Be imported into first high pass filter 8 by the output of sending from frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 of switch 7 and the output of sending from frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6.First high pass filter 8 only allows HFS to pass through.
Fig. 2 is the circuit diagram of the circuit of indication and 8 equivalences of first high pass filter.
As shown in Figure 2, first high pass filter 8 is equivalent to the circuit of being made up of capacitor and resistor, and described capacitor has capacitor C 1, and an end of described resistor is electrically connected to described capacitor and other end ground connection, and described resistor has resistance R 1.
Consider equivalent electric circuit shown in Figure 2 (CR circuit), the cut-off frequency Fc and the timeconstant of first high pass filter 8 are expressed as followsin:
Fc=1/(2πC1×R1) (1)
τ=C1×R1
The signal that sends from first high pass filter 8 is exaggerated an AGC amplifier 9, is imported into then in second high pass filter 10.Second high pass filter 10 only allows HFS to pass through.
The signal that sends from second high pass filter 10 is exaggerated the 2nd AGC amplifier 11, is imported into then in the 3rd high pass filter 12.The 3rd high pass filter 12 only allows HFS to pass through.
Thereby, the output of sending from frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 or the output of sending from frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6 by from 12 outputs of the 3rd high pass filter as baseband signal, i.e. I and Q signal 13.
When an AGC amplifier 9 and 11 pairs of signals of the 2nd AGC amplifier amplify, change each Amplifier Gain in an AGC amplifier 9 and the 2nd AGC amplifier 11 according to AGC control signal 14, make I and Q signal can have required output level.
In second high pass filter 10 and the 3rd high pass filter 12 each improves cut-off frequency according to HPF cut-off frequency control signal A16 promptly makes the convergence of interferences (glitch) noise, the adverse effect that the interference noise of generation causes the signal receiving performance of multiband receiver when reducing to be changed rapidly by the gain at an AGC amplifier 9 and the 2nd AGC amplifier 11.
In the multiband receiver shown in Fig. 1 according to first embodiment, for example when switch 7 switches output according to band switch control signal 15,, the DC of frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 and frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6 generates following DC offset drifts Δ V because being offset not match mutually.
ΔV=V1-V2 (3)
In equation (3), the dc voltage of V1 indication frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5, and the dc voltage of V2 indication frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6.
The DC offset drifts Δ V that generates when frequency band is switched to another frequency band determines according to the time constant of first high pass filter 8.
According to equation (2) and (3), the convergence time of DC offset drifts Δ V can be represented with following equation (4).
V
0=ΔV×e
(-t/τ)
∴t=-τ×ln(V
0/ΔΔ) (4)
In equation (4), " V
0" indicate the DC offset drifts that sends from first high pass filter 8, the convergence time of " t " indication DC offset drifts, and " e " indicates the truth of a matter of natural logrithm.
In order to simplify, ignore the influence that second high pass filter 10 and the 3rd high pass filter 12 are caused, the DC offset drifts that generates when frequency band is switched to another frequency band is enlarged into the degree that equates with the gain of an AGC amplifier 9 and the 2nd AGC amplifier 11, is output as IQ output 13 then.In other words, included DC offset drifts changes on amplitude according to the gain of an AGC amplifier 9 and the 2nd AGC amplifier 11 in the IQ output 13.
Viq=G×V
0=(G9+G11)×ΔV×e
(-t/τ) (9)
tiq=-τ×ln(V
0/ΔΔV(G9+G11)) (10)
In equation (9) and (10), the DC offset drifts that is generated in " Viq " indication IQ output 13, the convergence time of the DC offset drifts that is generated in " tiq " indication IQ output 13, the magnification ratio of " G9 " indication the one AGC amplifier 9, and the magnification ratio of " G11 " indication the 2nd AGC amplifier 11.
As an example, illustrate " t " and " V among Fig. 3
0" between relation, wherein Δ V is 10mV, τ is 106 microseconds (cut-off frequency Fc=1.5kHz), and G is 12dB (=* 4), illustrates " tiq " and the relation between " Viq " under the same terms among Fig. 4.
Generated the DC offset drifts owing to frequency band being switched to another frequency band.In multiband receiver according to first embodiment, when frequency band switch-over control signal 15 is sent to switch 7, HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17 is sent to first high pass filter 8, in addition, made the cut-off frequency Fc of first high pass filter 8 improve a certain period before restraining at the DC offset drifts.
Thereby reduced timeconstant, and therefore can shorten convergence time tiq according to the DC offset drifts Viq of equation (6) definition.
As " t " shown in Figure 3 and " V
0" between relation and " tiq " and a reference example of the relation between " Viq " shown in Figure 4, illustrate observed when cut-off frequency Fc is enhanced 3kHz " t " and " V among Fig. 5
0" between relation, and illustrate " tiq " and the relation between " Viq " under the same terms among Fig. 6.
More conspicuous as between the comparison between Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 and Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the shortening of the convergence time tiq of DC offset drifts Viq and the raising of cut-off frequency Fc be inversely proportional to (the cut-off frequency Fc among Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 has improved twice than the cut-off frequency Fc among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
As shown in Figure 6, the convergence time tiq of the DC offset drifts Viq that generates when frequency band is switched to another frequency band is equal to or less than 250 microseconds.
Therefore, when handover will be performed, can there be enough a period of times in frequency band, to measure (for example, the measurement of electric field strength), thereby have guaranteed correct measurement.This helps to be avoided mistake during carrying out handover.
For example, if transmission gap is 5 time slots (for example, suppose that a time slot equals 667 microseconds, then 5 time slots equal 3335 microseconds), then can have in first time slot half or more than half time.
By contrast, in Fig. 4, the convergence time tiq of the DC offset drifts that generates when frequency band is switched to another frequency band is about 500 microseconds, thereby causes can't measuring in nearly all time in first time slot in transmission gap.
Fig. 3 and example shown in Figure 4 show the situation that does not improve the cut-off frequency Fc of first high pass filter 8 when frequency band is switched to another frequency band according to HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17.
As mentioned above, the multiband receiver according to first embodiment provides following advantage:
(1) by improves the cut-off frequency of first high pass filter 8 according to HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17, can shorten the convergence time tiq of DC offset drifts Viq included in the IQ output 13, thereby guarantee to reduce the adverse effect that DC offset drifts Viq applies the signal receiving performance of multiband receiver.
(2) by shortening the convergence time tiq of DC offset drifts Viq, can there be enough a period of times in transmission gap, to carry out essential measurement, thereby guarantee the correctness of measurement.
(3) frequency band switch-over control signal 15 produces by selecting a certain frequency.The cut-off frequency that can be synchronized with 15 pairs first high pass filters 8 of frequency band switch-over control signal is controlled.
(4) can at random define the convergence time tiq of DC offset drifts Viq according to the excursion of the cut-off frequency of first high pass filter 8.
(5), also can only shorten the convergence time tiq of DC offset drifts Viq by the cut-off frequency that improves first high pass filter 8 even after input signal has been transformed to baseband signal in the receiver of two or more frequency bands.
(6) not only when being switched to another frequency band, frequency band can obtain above-mentioned advantage (1), and as the same when frequency is switched to another frequency.For example, 2110MHz and the frequency between the 2170MHz that first embodiment can be applied in the 2G frequency band are switched, perhaps 875MHz in the 800M frequency band and the frequency between the 885MHz are switched, and wherein, frequency band switch-over control signal 15 shown in Figure 1 is used from the effect of the control signal of switching frequency.

Fig. 7 is the block diagram according to the multiband receiver of second embodiment of the invention.
Only be to comprise DC short switch (in claims, being defined as DC short-circuiting means or DC short circuit current) and do not use HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17 that described DC short switch is arranged in parallel between the output of sending from frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 and the output of sending from frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6 according to the multiband receiver of second embodiment according to the multiband receiver of second embodiment and architectural difference according to the multiband receiver of first embodiment.Correspondingly, with according to the parts of the multiband receiver of first embodiment or the corresponding parts of element or element be provided identical label.
DC short switch 20 is switched on when receiving frequency band switch-over control signal 15 and is turned off after over and done with certain period, and wherein said frequency band switch-over control signal 15 will be transfused to when frequency band is switched to another frequency band.
In the multiband receiver according to second embodiment, the DC offset drifts that generates when being switched to another with switch of frequency band in one of quadrature demodulator 5 and 6 is not to be generated by the DC short circuit output of sending towards each other from quadrature demodulator 5 and 6.
As above illustrated, in multiband receiver according to second embodiment, DC short switch 20 when frequency band is switched to another frequency band, make the output of sending from frequency band 1 quadrature demodulator 5 with from the mutual DC short circuit period of output that frequency band 2 quadrature demodulators 6 send, thereby guarantee to prevent to generate the DC offset drifts.
In according to the multiband receiver of second embodiment, also can use HPF cut-off frequency control signal B17.

First to the 3rd quadrature demodulator 106 covers frequency band A, B and C respectively.
Transmitter 100 sends in the duplexer (antenna filter) 103 each with transmission signals.The signal that each duplexer 103 allows to have a transmission frequency passes through, thereby removes unnecessary frequency part.After this, transmission signals is sent to by switch (RFSW) 102 and antenna 101 in the air.
The signal that receives by antenna 101 is sent to duplexer 103 by switch 102.The signal that each duplexer 103 allows to have receive frequency passes through, thereby removes unnecessary frequency part.
After this, the signal that receives is sent to first to the 3rd quadrature demodulator 106 by low noise amplifier (LNA) 104 and band pass filter 105.
The signal that receives in first to the 3rd quadrature demodulator 106 of respectively covering frequence frequency band A, B and C by demodulation.The IQ signal that sends from the quadrature demodulator 106 that covers switch 107 selected frequency band is imported into first high pass filter 108.
Under difference modes, send each (I and IB, Q and QB) in I signal and the Q signal in the mode of balance.
The output signal of sending from first high pass filter 108 (analog signal) is input to AD converter 113 by an AGC amplifier 109, second high pass filter 110, the 2nd AGC amplifier 111 and the 3rd high pass filter 112, and is transformed to digital signal in AD converter 113.

Under the control of CCPU 121, combinator serial line interface 120 sends to second high pass filter 110 and the 3rd high pass filter 112 with HPF cut-off frequency control signal 116.HPF cut-off frequency control signal 116 is corresponding to HPF cut-off frequency control signal A16 shown in Figure 1.
The adverse effect that the signal receiving performance of multiband receiver is applied for the interference noise that reduces when the gain of an AGC amplifier 109 and the 2nd AGC amplifier 111 changes rapidly to generate, second high pass filter 110 and the 3rd high pass filter 112 improve cut-off frequency according to the HPF cut-off frequency control signal 116 that receives from combinator serial line interface 120, thereby interference noise is promptly restrained.
CCPU 121 is made up of central processing unit (CPU), this CPU controls local signal changeably when frequency band is switched to another frequency band, select one of output that from first to the 3rd quadrature demodulator sends according to switch 107, when being switched to another, frequency band controls the cut-off frequency of first high pass filter 108 changeably, when changing, the gain of an AGC amplifier 109 and the 2nd AGC amplifier 111 controls the cut-off frequency of second high pass filter 110 and the 3rd high pass filter 112 changeably, and executive communication control, for example control when the electric field strength of the frequency that will be performed handover is measured.
In Fig. 8, voltage controlled oscillator 118 and phase-locked loop (PLL) 119 (for example being made up of phase frequency comparator, charge pump, loop filter etc.) is illustrated as separated components.Yet, should be noted in the discussion above that voltage controlled oscillator 118 can be provided in the phase-locked loop 119.
Fig. 9 is the block diagram of quadrature demodulator 106 shown in Figure 8.
Quadrature demodulator 106 is made up of first multiplier (frequency mixer) 201, second multiplier 202 and phase shifter 203, and phase shifter 203 is electrically connected to first multiplier 201 and second multiplier 202.
First multiplier 201 multiplies each other local signal and the output signal that receives from quadrature demodulator, and product is exported as in-phase signal (I and IB) 204.Second multiplier 202 make the phase place that had by phase shifter 203 phase shifts the local signals of 90 degree multiply each other with the output signal that receives from quadrature demodulator, and with product output as orthogonal signalling (Q and QB) 205.
Figure 10 is the circuit diagram of an example of high pass filter 108.
As shown in figure 10, first high pass filter 108 is equivalent to the CR circuit of being made up of capacitor C, a pair of resistor R and switch SW 1.Capacitor C has capacitor C 1.One end of each resistor R is electrically connected to capacitor C, and other end ground connection.Each resistor R has resistance R 1.In addition, this is electrically connected resistor R is in parallel mutually.Switch SW 1 is disposed between one of resistor R and the capacitor C.
Switch SW 1 receives HPF cut-off frequency control signal 117.Switch SW 1 is turned off when HPF cut-off frequency control signal 117 inertias, and switch SW 1 is switched on when 117 activities of HPF cut-off frequency control signal.
Switch SW 1 is turned off when HPF cut-off frequency control signal 117 inertias, and in this case, first high pass filter of being made up of CR circuit shown in Figure 10 108 has the resistance that equates with resistance R.
On the other hand, switch SW 1 is switched on when 117 activities of HPF cut-off frequency control signal, in this case, the timeconstant that the resistance of first high pass filter 108 equals R1/2, first high pass filter 108 is reduced to half, and the cut-off frequency Fc of first high pass filter 108 is doubled.
The structure of first high pass filter 108 is not limited to all such structures of CR circuit as shown in figure 10, and this structure is controlled the resistance of definition time constant τ changeably according to HPF cut-off frequency control signal 117.For example, first high pass filter 108 can be designed as the structure with the capacitor C 1 that is used for controlling changeably definition time constant τ.
Second high pass filter 110 that the cut-off frequency that is had is controlled by HPF cut-off frequency control signal 116 changeably is structurally identical with first high pass filter 108 with the 3rd high pass filter 112.
